It is generally bad to install packages with "--nodeps" or "--force". It
is REALLY BAD to do it with the glibc package.

If you are feeling adventurous and have the development packages
installed, you can try grabbing the src.rpm and rebuilding it:

	rpmbuild --rebuild packagename.src.rpm


I'll see if I can get fc_teachertool to build on 4.1 and if successful
I'll drop it into the repository...
